Japanese Engelhard Silver Round - NEWP

asheland

This is an interesting one. I found this today in a lot of miscellaneous silver rounds.
Anyone ever seen one? There’s no mark for fineness or weight, but the PMV confirms .999 and it weights a pinch over one oz Troy.
A cool addition regardless:

no I want one.

I've never seen one.

You’ve done it again! Nice score!

Thanks guys. I noticed it immediately when going through a lot of 200 rounds that came in. I work in a B&M

And my friend who owns the shop gave it to me for running an errand for him. We did notice the write up on AllEngelhard but he still let me have it. It’s nice helping out at a good shop like that.

Very nice silver round.... I like the art side....No edge information? Cheers, RickO

@ricko the edge is just normal reeding. And I cannot find any other examples online save for the one pictured on AllEngelhard. I believe it’s indeed scarce.
